Seikimatsu Darling was a short and cute show. It is an old show so the art was not as stunning as I'm used to, but the story makes up for it. It's the kind of show that you wish there was more of, but at the same time you're not disappointed about what's there. Seikimatsu Darling has something for those hard-core yaoi fans and those new to the genre wrapped up in an absolutely hilarious show. I was chuckling to myself from beginning to end and at some parts found myself laughing hysterically. For those of you who are confusedreading the summary at the top of the page, what they mean by their feelings being too much alike is that they are both seme ( because I know I was confused as hell XD ) That's not to say there's no romance. There are definitely many moments where you want to just go &quot;Awwwww~~~&quot;. There's nothing too serious though, so if you looking for a serious show this isn't for you. Anyway, I highly recommend this show to everyone, especially if you're a fan of yaoi. Despite its length, I would definitely put this show up with the classics.

I was more than surprised by "Seikimatsu Darling", I was highly delighted! Contrary to all classic 90's/00's BL genre conventions, this is a funny and compelling story of two men who both want to conquer the other. The heteronormative and downright shoujo-cis-coloured feminine-uke/masculine-seme structure doesn't exist, because the two don't know how to approach this fresh new gay relationship: This is a first for both. And so begins a very funny romcom of two office salarymen types who want to impress the other with swooping masculinity, strength and charm. Of course, hijinks ensue, in the funniest and most heartwarming manner! I was so very happy to haveseen this anime, and even more so surprised that something so modern in its gay representation was released in 1996, where the toxic tropes of "~omg yaoi kyaaaa~" ran rampant. It's only a short OVA of about 30 minutes with a little bonus at the end, but it's absolutely worth watching by anyone who knows the genre BL, is fed up with heteronormative nonsense, or even doesn't know the genre at all! Treat yourselves and I will cherish this darling of an OVA forever!
